Thanks for maintaining this pet. I'm new to CUPS and linux printers. I downloaded and installed your latest pet, then started CUPS and clicked Find new printers. It immediately found my ML-2165W, which is wifi-connected. I was amazed at how easy it went. Then I clicked to make it the default printer and Print Test Page. I do get some print out, but it isn't a test page, just these five lines

Sorry, I was out of town with no internet access. I just got back. Thanks for the saluki package pointer. I wasn't aware that it's incomplete. I will install that package tomorrow and report back here my findings. I certainly owe you feedback at least.
As for using another puppy, I love saluki but since it isn't going anywhere anymore, I might switch to precise soon.

Thanks! After installing saluki's printer-scanner-001.sfs and your pet I can print to my samsung 2165W printer. In the future I might test replacing the sfs with the ghostscript pet you linked to, but first I want to see if I can also scan, so I think I need the sfs installed.

Fyi, in addition to the sfs link you posted, there's also http://smokey01.com/saluki/sfs/printer-scanner-drivers.sfs, which jemimah describes as:

A quick question what is the differences between printer-scanner-core.pet, printer-scanner-001.sfs and printer-scanner-driver.sfs ?

The new printer-scanner-driver sfs has every printer driver I know about, including the big lexmark ones. Also it was built with the sfs-builder so it should integrate into the ppm so dependency checking will work correctly. (I should do this with the DevX too, but not for the first release.)
It should be possible now to install printer drivers through the ppm so you can get just the drivers you need.
Or there may be a situation where you don't know what kind of printer you will need the drivers for, and you want all drivers, so use the sfs in that case.

The new printer-scanner-driver sfs has every printer driver I know about...

There were many other drivers that Jemimah knew about, like all the Brother and Canon models. But they exist as individual packages and it would have been too cumbersome to include them all. So instead she added a bunch of drivers that 99.9% of Saluki users would never need.

I have my printer installed, no problems, has been in numerous puppies over time.

The colour from this printer in Linux has never been great. To do colour printing, I use windows in virtualbox. Gives perfect results. I saw the CMS post you put on the first page here, and thought I'd give that a go. But, I don't know what to do with it.

I have installed the samsung_print-4.01.17.pet and the printer works ok. The colour for photos isn't right. Everyone looks jaundiced, too much orangey yellow.

Installing the cms pet does nothing to change it for that printer. I don't know what I might need to do beyond installing the pet from page one of this thread.

There are no PPD files in the CMS directory.

I know. But you click the "browse for PPD button" is what I meant. Doing this doesn't find a PPD, so that's kind of where I was coming unstuck.

Perhaps this is feedback for the CMS database. It doesn't seem to help much for the clp-315, or I'm doing it wrong.[/quote]
